Editorial Reviews

Vibe
Fatal sprays venomous lyrics over a strange brew of West Coast gangster funk and bass-heavy, Eastside-flavored tracks. A flurry of gunfire leads into the potent, banging cut "M.O.B." featuring guest verbals from Freddy Foxx.

2.0 out of 5 stars "In The Line Of Fire" Review, November 9, 2003

By	Crazy Jim (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

As the stand-out member of Tupac Shakur's "Outlawz", Hussein Fatal seemed destined for big things but following his mentor's death and his subsequent departure from the group, Fatal found himself in career limbo. On his solo debut off of Relativey, Fatal was hoping to establish himself as a major contendor in the rap game and do it all by his lonely. Unfortunately, he fell a few steps short. While die-hard Outlaw fans enjoyed it, this album did not quite live up to many people's expectations and the dismal sales figures didn't help matters either. While cuts such as "Friday", "Everyday", and "Take Your Time" made for decent music, they just didn't provide incentive enough to keep this one in the CD player on a regular basis. The same Fatal who blazed the mic on tracks like "Made N--gaz" and "When We Ride" just doesn't seem to make the same impression without his infamous cohorts behind him. This isn't to say that Fatal doesn't have what it takes as a solo act but let's just say, he didn't quite find his niche on this one. If you love the Outlawz, you're gonna want to add it to your collection but anyone else may want to hold off on dropping some dollars on this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul survivor, December 29, 1999

By	chris (Bakersfield California) - See all my reviews

Fatal gives you a taste of what the rap game is or should be with in the line of fire. The last remaining origonal outlaw demonstrates his lyrical abillities on songs such as M.O.B. and ghetto star. Unquestionably he is the most gifted writer of the remaining outlawz (third only to pac and kadafi) the one problem even though it's a small one is he never get's to "deep" by deep I mean he stays away from some of the heavy topics you would expect from an outlaw or someone who was so close to Pac. Over all this CD still gets 5 out of 5 cuz fatals tight and In the line of Fire reflects it.
